After seeing what you had done with your valve/cam covers there was NO WAY I could live with the ugly dull covers on my car anymore! I decided to color match my car! I think it came out good what do you think?

Looks great! I never thought of using white, but any color that matches the body should look good. Gotta figure out how to get some contrasting blue in there to match the stripes. Maybe those "POWER BY FORD" decals. I don't think it will be too much trouble to keep clean. I usually don't see much grime under my hood, mostly sand on top of the covers. Keep up the good work!

I actually thought of the powered by ford stickers! I couldn't find them anywhere though. I just ordered the intake cover and I am going to try and get it painted with some blue flames in order to tie in the blue!

Looks great, now you need the intake plenum cover to hide all those wires and really make it a clean look.................

Nice covers! I'm torn on how to detail mine - MG doesn't offer much contrast like yours. Check this thread (especially post #4) for details on the PBF decals:

Good luck!

Thanks, on the heads up on the PBF stickers. I think they will really look good on the white covers. I am sure they got my order but I have not heard back from Midwest auto gear to confirm they received my order for the intake cover. I even sent them an email asking last night. I would call them but I work too late for that! I guess I will just have to stink it up and keep waiting!
